	European Company Statute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Council Regulation on the Statute for a European Company of the European Union (adopted October 8, 2001; OJ L 294, 10 November 2001, pp.
		There is no EU-wide register of SEs (an SE is registered on the national register of the member state in which it has its head office), but each registration is to be published in the official journal; as of mid-2006, at least 30 registration has been reported (see [1]).
		The regulation is complemented by the Council Directive supplementing the Statute for a European Company with regard to the involvement of employees (adopted October 8, 2001; OJ L 294, 10 November 2001, pp.

	Cooperative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cooperatives may be generally classified as either consumer or producer cooperatives, depending largely on the mutual interest (see mutual organizations) that their membership shares.
		In the European Union and in large regions of America, cooperatives, with associations, foundations and mutual funds are considered parts of the Social economy.
		A housing cooperative is a legal mechanism for ownership of housing where residents either own shares (share capital co-op) reflecting their equity in the co-operative's real estate, or have membership and occupancy rights in a not-for-profit co-operative (non-share capital co-op), and they underwrite their housing through paying subscriptions or rent.

	SCADPlus: Statute for a European Cooperative Society
		These two instruments are not, however, suited to the specific features of cooperatives (independent associations of individuals voluntarily associated to satisfy their common economic, social and cultural aspirations and needs by means of a collectively-owned enterprise in which power is exerted democratically by the members).
		Finally, a national cooperative operating in a different Member State from the one in which it has its registered office can be converted into a European cooperative without first having to be wound up.
		This agreement shall be negotiated in a spirit of cooperation between the competent organs of the participating legal entities and the special negotiating body, in accordance with the legislation of the Member State in which the registered office of the SCE is to be situated.

	Statute for a European Cooperative Society
		Proposal for a Council Regulation on the Statute for a European Cooperative Society.
		A cooperative society with an establishment or subsidiary in a Member State other than that of its central administration may form an SCE by converting into SCE form, provided it can show that it is carrying on a genuine cross-border activity.
		Where the proposal on the statute for a European cooperative society is concerned, the amendments relate in particular to the following aspects of such entities: designation, establishment criteria, procedures for convening general meetings, powers of general meetings, legal status and financial arrangements.

	ILC90 - Report of the Committee on the Promotion of Cooperatives
		Cooperatives are in many cases enlightened in their employment policies, pioneering advanced forms of worker participation in economic decision-making and developing strong relations with trade unions.
		Cooperatives emerged in the early period of very chaotic industrial capitalism as a response to the brutal exploitation of the working class, and to provide protection of their members from the harsh realities of the market.
		The first is that cooperatives are enterprises that, in order to survive, must be led by people who have the creative and entrepreneurial talent to ensure that they become sustainable in order to benefit not only their members, but their workers and the greater society.

	[No title]
		The cooperative movement, if it is to accomplish the maximum of results in a minimum of time, should not be compelled to wait until a full measure of under standing of consumer cooperation dominates the thinking of the people.
		The Eastern Cooperative League sponsored a similar conference for New York and vicinity in April which was at tended by representatives of 40 unions and an equal number of cooperatives.
		Cooperatives are one of the effective means of distributing purchasing power by the distribution of savings (profits) to every purchaser in the form of patronage returns and interest on shares.

	Report V (2) Promotion of cooperatives
		The concept of cooperatives covers a wide range of situations, depending on the country in question — and this is clearly highlighted in the report — and cooperatives’ role in development varies according to whether they are in developing countries, transition countries or industrialized countries.
		Cooperative organizations cannot, however, have any special status; the regulation of their activities should, as a rule, be based on equality with other business activities.
		Cooperatives similar to community-based enterprises aim to develop business in communities, especially in rural areas, as a means to generate employment in the countryside.

		Council the Court dismissed a claim by the European Parliament that Council Regulation (EC) No 1435/2003 of July 22nd 2003 on the Statute for a European Cooperative Society (SCE) should have been based on Article 95 EC and not on Article 308 EC.
		The Commission had proposed a regulation to create a new European legal form for cooperatives called the "European cooperative society" on the basis of what was then Article 100a EEC (now, Article 95 EC)
		It held that Regulation 1435/2003 leaves unchanged the different national laws already in existence and creates a new form of cooperative society in addition to the national forms.

	Developments in European Works Councils
		The most authoritative figures are those compiled by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI), which estimates that the number of companies which fall within the scope of the EWCs Directive rose from 1,865 in 2002 to 2,169 in 2004 (European Works Councils Database 2004, P Kerckhofs and I Pas, ETUI).
		In April 2004, the European Commission launched long-awaited consultations with EU-level employer and trade union bodies about 'how best to ensure that the potential of EWCs to promote constructive and fruitful transnational social dialogue' can be 'fully realised', including the possible revision of the EWCs Directive (EU0405203F).
		This is not surprising, given that the European Commission’s consultations with the social partners are still at a fairly early stage, and that EU Member States do not need to address the issue of revision unless or until the Commission adopts a formal legislative proposal for amending the Directive.

	Single Market News - European Company Statute
		The creation of the Group forms part of the Commission's continuing efforts to break the deadlock in the Council over the issue of worker involvement, primarily in relation to the European Company Statute ("ECS") but also in the context of the Statutes for a European association, a European mutual society and a European cooperative society.
		This initiative has been taken in response to the request for acceleration of work on the ECS by the Florence European Council last year, and in the light of continuing pressure from businesses and UNICE for the adoption of the ECS.
		Encouraged by the adoption of the EWC Directive to make a concerted effort to break the impasse over the worker involvement issue, the Commission took the initiative in November 1995 of issuing its Communication on the information and consultation of workers.
